Neil Diamond, Solitary Man. Johnny Cash does it better. Nothing better than the sound of an acoustic guitar, well-made, well-played, steel-stringed, with fresh strings. This one goes out to Dave Bagwill.
Calexico, Alone Again Or.
Original (1967) by Love, an underrated '60s psychedelic band.
Roy Orbison, Only the Lonely
Bob Dylan, I am a Lonesome Hobo
Stay free from petty jealousy
Live by no man's code
Save your judgment for yourself
Lest you wind up on this road.
Bob Dylan, The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll. Whatever happened to William Zantzinger? Well, he died at 69 in 2009. NYT obituary here.
A couple of bonus cuts for a NYC friend:
Lovin' Spoonful, Summer in the City. Great song, great video.
Barrett Strong, Money (1959)
A curious rendition by The Flying Lizards
